Come to Portugal.
In the country…
between the sand and the water …to a simple white washed fisherman’s hut.
Hand-thatched roof...like a shaggy cut 7 year old's bangs...Pallet board patios.
Fringed in Pine trees.
awww. Come join me. Won't cost you a dime
promise.
A thatch roof shelters the outdoor dining room from the sun
who needs much else?
Chinese paper lanterns illuminate
a simple, intimate room
unadorned.
it's what's for dinner.
Peruvian cloth covered pillows.
Yarn wound sticks.
Paintings, beautiful in their lonesomeness
…it pulls you in
. The kitchen is useful.
Punctuated by colorful enamelware plates and old tins.
it’s happy in it’s simplicity
happy happy joy joy
At the end of the terrace a true outdoor room... surrounded in mosquito netting.
Allowing you to sleep in the open air.
surrounded by fresh…wild.
whoa!
I dunno.
I’m lovin’ the whole vibe.
You?

Just love the rustic style, all the wood. It's so perfect for a coastal cottage, no matter where.

Oh I love that first photo! Look at the detail on that chimney- beautiful! I didn't see the Portugal forcast.... will I need to bring along my two new girls to keep us cool?? :)
It should be on a cliff overlooking the ocean. It's beautiful.
That home is very charming.
I love it!
I'm picking up good vibrations. Yep. Oh yeah.
I want that outdoor dining room!
Yes wow! Great photos. Very relaxed and care free. I could use a few days in a spot like that...all except for the strange critter outside.
So beautiful!
Okay. One more change in plans. THIS is exactly where I want to be!
Those thatched roofs are fabulous! Great images of summer living.
WOW! I love it all.
The kitchen looks like fun...I would love to get in there and bang some pots around...LOL!
